A totally marvelous film depicting the setting up of a spy organization in the U.S. during World War 11.
James Cagney shed his usual tough guy image in gangster films to portray the head of the unit. He is one tough dedicated American.
The film wonderfully captures the training that the prospective spies received. It also tells that one of them is really a German agent.
Annabella is convincing as one of the trainees who yearns for information regarding her missing husband in France.
Richard Conte is quite effective as the German spy who is cunning beyond belief. His cruelty is on par with his fabulous performance years later as Tony Bardman in "I'll Cry Tomorrow."
Though a tragic film, the film should serve to show the dedication of men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War 11.
